Roller chains in the SKF PHC series connect shafts so that motion is transferred in sync, which makes them a common sight on conveyors and production equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line as part of its power transmission range, and our team can help you match a chain to your drive.
Reading a PHC code takes a bit of practice. The string PHC 81-1108-DRL4SPX5MTR starts with the series letters, then a base number and a numeric suffix, and closes with letter groups such as DRL, SPX and MTR. Those trailing letters point to details like plate style, pin type or surface treatment, and what they mean can change from one variant to the next. Send us your code and we will help you pin down the exact version.
These chains show up in food processing, cement, mining and general manufacturing, on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mill drives, mixers and machine tools. Dust, humidity and changing loads are manageable as long as pitch and strength are matched to the job. Where a line needs precise timing and low upkeep, a PHC chain is often the choice.
Choosing a chain means looking at pitch, strand count, working load and linear speed together. Check that the sprockets line up and are still in good shape, and that the lubrication suits the surrounding conditions. Set tension properly at installation so the chain does not vibrate or wear early. If seals or retainers are part of the design, confirm they can handle the process temperature and any contaminants present.
Chains from other makers that share the same pitch and dimensional standard can often be swapped in. Compare pitch, roller diameter, inner width and tensile strength before deciding. Variants with special suffixes are not always a direct fit, since some carry modified plates or pins. For a replacement, share the complete code or the key measurements and we will point you to a compatible option.

Frequently asked questions
- What do the letters DRL4SPX5MTR indicate on a PHC chain?
- Groups like DRL, SPX and MTR cover features such as plate configuration, surface treatment or pin design. The meaning varies by series and manufacturer. Share the full code with us and we will help you interpret it.
- How should I pick the pitch for my drive?
- Pitch follows from the power to be transmitted, the speed and the space available, and it is normally settled together with the sprockets. If a chain is already running, measure the pin-to-pin distance and contact us so we can identify the matching PHC pitch.
- Can an SKF PHC chain replace one from another brand?
- Often yes, provided pitch, width and roller diameter agree with the same standard. Chains carrying special suffixes may need extra checks. Send the measurements or the original code and we will confirm compatibility.
